<br />Issue 3. Snow and Dirt Dumped in Wetland <br /> <br />Dumping dirt, road salt and other sediments into a wetland is not good. There is no reason the person <br />below can't put his snow on his own property. Notice he has his own Bobcat and just dumps his snow and <br />scrapped up dirt into the wetland. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Conclusion <br />Peltier Lake has some of the worst water quality in the state. It is a listed "Impaired Water." If anyone <br />wants to improve these waters, the issues above require addressing. Centerville ordinance 4, Division 140: <br />Wetland Protection and Management states, "Permanent natural buffer areas and appropriate erosion <br />control measures be taken surrounding wetland areas to prevent sedimentation of the wetland." <br /> <br />Centerville should 1) set the area no parking, 2) stop the mowing, 3) prevent snow dumping, and <br />4) plant deep root vegetation to protect the wetland. <br /> <br />How can a city hope to improve water resources with behavior as described above? <br /> <br />Wayne LeBlanc, Nov, 2008 <br /> <br />4 <br />
